Ankle inversion ligamentous sprain is one of the most common sports injuries. The most direct way is to investigate real injury incidents, but
it is unethical and impossible to replicate on test participants. Simulators including tilt platforms, trapdoors, and fulcrum devices were designed
to mimic ankle inversion movements in laboratories. Inversion angle was the only element considered in early designs; however, an ankle sprain
is composed of inversion and plantarflexion in clinical observations. Inversion velocity is another parameter that increased the reality of
simulation. This review summarised the simulators, and aimed to compare and contrast their features and settings.
